본 논문에서는 네덜란드 부게넘 및 국내 태안 IGCC플랜트의 석탄으로부터 생성된 합성가스의 화염안정성 및 연소불안정성에 대해 기술하였다. GE7EA 모사 가스터빈 연소기를 대상으로 상압 고온 연소시험을 수행하여 입열량 및 질소희석에 따른 연소특성을 관찰하였다. 시험결과를 통해 화염안정화 선도는 화염의 구조에 따라 Regime I부터 VI까지 6개의 영역으로 구분하였고, 2개의 영역(Regime I, II)에서 화염이 안정적으로 연소되는 것을 확인하였다. 태안 및 부게넘 합성가스 모두 안정하게 연소되고, 화염이 외부 재순환 유동과 결합되는 Regime II에 해당하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 $H_2$/CO비만을 고려하면 수소의 함량이 높은 부게넘 가스가 안정적 연소구간이 넓지만, 질소희석을 고려할 때 부게넘 가스 내의 더 많은 질소가 화염안정성에 부정적 영향을 미치기 때문에 태안 합성가스가 부게넘 합성가스보다 더 안정적으로 연소하였다.

The ignition characteristics in a confined axisymmetric coflow $CH_4$ jet were investigated numerically with the Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS). The $CH_4$ fuel stream was diluted with main combustion product gases, such as $O_2$, $N_2$, CO, $CO_2$, and $H_2O$, and the mixed fuel stream was heated up to the sufficient temperature where a supplying fuel stream can be ignited. For the calculation of chemical reaction in the simulation, a 2-step global finite chemistry model was considered. Boundary condition for confined wall was optimized by investigating the effects of wall temperature on the ignition characteristics of fuel stream. In addition, the effects of composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature on the ignition of fuel steam were investigated. The ignition characteristics of $CH_4$ stream with diluents were very sensitive to the wall temperature, composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature.

Chlorococcum littorale has been grown in high $CO_2$ concentrations to utilize $CO_2$ gas in the polluted air. The effect of incident light intensity on the specific growth rate is expressed by a photoinhibition model, showing half- saturation constant, $K_0\;as\;8\;(W/m^2)$ and inhibition constant, Ki as 35 $(W/m^2)$. The maximum specific growth rate was also estimated as 0.095 (1/day) under this condition. This strain maintained the optimum growth rate in 20% of $CO_2$ gas but 50% of input $CO_2$ gas is the maximum concentration considering the economical efficiency. The maximum Specific $CO_2$ consumption rate, $qCO_2$ was measured as 17.48 (mg $CO_2/g$ dry wt./day) in batch cultivation, 11.2 (mg $CO_2/g$ dry wt./day) in fed-batch cultivation and 10.87 (mg $CO_2/g$ dry wt./day) at 0.065 (1/day) of dilution rate in continuous cultivation. The chemical composition of the biomass obtained from this process showed 32.5% of protein, 27.5% of lipid, 16.5% of carbohydrate and ash 11.7%.

The separation and concentration of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) using a supported liquid membrane (SLM) is investigated. A cation complex agent, di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), is used as a carrier in the SLM with n-Heptane as a solvent. The reaction order and equilibrium constant in the formation reaction of L-phe-carrier complex are obtained from the extraction experiment. A mathematical model for a carrier mediated counter transport process is proposed to estimate the diffusion coefficient of L-phe-carrier complexly in the liquid membrant. Permeation experiments of L-phe using a SLM are performed under various operating conditions and optimum conditions for the transport of L-phe are obtained. Concentration of L-phe in the strip phase against its concentration is observed. Transport rate of glucose through liquid membrane is less than that of L-phe in the competitive transport of L-phe and glucose. And the existence of glucose reduced the transport rate of L-phe. The performance of separation with continuous strip phase is increased due to the dilution effect in the strip phase.

Noise-barriers on both sides of the roadway (hereafter referred to as double noise-barriers), are a common feature along roads in Korea, and these are expected to have important effects on the near-road air pollution dispersion of vehicle emissions. This study evaluated the double noise-barrier impact on near-road air pollution dispersion, using a FLUENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate vehicle air pollutant dispersion, in around 11 cases of double noise-barriers. The simulated concentration profiles and surface concentrations under no barrier cases were compared with the experimental results. The results of the simulated flows show the following three regimes in this study: isolated roughness (H/W=0.05), wake interface (H/W=0.1), and skimming flow (H/W>0.15). The results also show that the normalized average concentrations at surface (z=1 m) between the barriers increase with increasing double noise-barrier height; however, normalized average concentrations at the top position between the barriers decrease with increasing barrier height. It was found that the double noise-barrier decreases normalized average concentrations of leeward positions, ranging from 0.8 (H/W=0.1, wake interface) to 0.1 (H/W=0.5, skimming flow) times lower than that of the no barrier case, at 10 x/h downwind position; and ranging from 1.0 (H/W=0.1) to 0.4 (H/W=0.5) times lower than that of the no barrier case, at 60 x/h downwind position.

A long-term resuspension of small particles, called persistent turbidity, is one of the most important water quality concerns in the dam reservoirs system located in North Han River. Persistent turbidity may incur aesthetic nuisance and harmful effect on the ecosystem health, in addition to elevated water treatment costs for the drinking water supply to the Seoul metropolitan area. These sufferings have been more intensified as the strength and frequency of rainfall events increase by climate change in the basin. This study was to analyze the effect of an extreme turbidity flow event that occurred in 2006 on the serial reservoirs system (Soyang-Uiam-Cheongpyung-Paldang) in North Han River. The CE-QUAL-W2 model was set up and calibrated for the river and reservoirs system using the field data obtained in 2006 and 2007. The results showed that Soyang Reservoir released turbid water, which was classified as the TSS concentration is greater than 25 mg/L, for 334 days with peak TSS of 264.1 mg/L after the extreme flood event (592.7 mm) occurred between July 10 and 18 of 2006. The turbid water departed from Soyang Reservoir reached at the most downstream Paldang Reservoir after about 20 days and sustained for 41 days, which was validated with water treatment plant data. Since the released water from Soyang Reservoir had low water temperature and high TSS, an underflow formed in the downstream reservoirs and vertically mixed at Paldang Reservoir due to dilution by the sufficient inflow from South Han River.

소수계 물관리 진단시스템, CREEK-1을 이용하여 합류식 하수관거 월류수 발생시 청계천에서 나타나는 수질변화에 관한 모델 연구를 수행하였다. CREEK-1은 지리정보시스템, 데이터베이스, 경관생태모델(FRAGSTATS), 유역모델(SWMM), 수질모델(WASP5), 그리고 컴퓨터 그래픽으로 구성되어있다. 본 연구에서는 강우시 청계천의 수질변화를 시뮬레이션하기 위해 유역모델과 수질모델이 주로 사용되었다. 유역모델에서 청계천 전체 유역이 18개의 소유역으로, 수질모델에서 대상 하천 구간은 11개의 구획으로 나누어져 모델이 구성되었다. 유역모델은 강우시 현장에서 관측된 BOD, 총질소, 총인 그리고 유량 자료로 타당성이 검토되었으며, 그 결과 모든 항목에서 모델 예측같은 관측값과 비교적 적절한 일치를 보였다. 연구 결과는 하천의 수질이 강우량과 강우 시작 후 경과 시간에 따라 변화가 일어나고 있음을 보여주었다. 강우 초기에는 유역의 초기 세척수와 CSO에서 차지하는 하수 비율이 높기 때문에 수질이 크게 악화되었으나 유출 수량이 증가함에 따라 희석효과에 의해 수질이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다.

We have discovered an unexplored population of galaxies featuring weak broad-line regions (BLRs) at z < 0.2 from detailed analysis of galaxy spectra in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. These objects predominantly show a stellar continuum but also a broad $H{\alpha}$ emission line, indicating the presence of a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) oriented so that we are viewing the central engine directly without significant obscuration. These accreting black holes have previously eluded detection due to their weak nature. The new BLR AGNs we found increased the number of known type 1 AGNs by 49%. Some of these new BLR AGNs were detected at the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and their X-ray properties confirm that they are indeed type 1 AGN. Based on our new and more complete catalogue of type 1 AGNs, we derived the type 1 fraction of AGNs as a function of [OIII] ${\lambda}5007$ emission luminosity and explored the possible dilution effect on the obscured AGN due to star-formation. The new type 1 AGN fraction shows much more complex behavior with respect to black hole mass and bolometric luminosity than suggested by the existing receding torus model. The type 1 AGN fraction is sensitive to both of these factors, and there seems to be a sweet spot (ridge) in the diagram of black hole mass and bolometric luminosity. Furthermore, we present a hint that the Eddington ratio plays a role in determining the opening angles. This work is submitted to ApJS.

뇌공등에 함유되어있는 트립톨라이드는 뛰어난 항염증, 항산화 효능을 가지고 있음이 보고되었다. 예쁜꼬마선충을 이용한 이전 연구에서 트립톨라이드의 섭취가 개체의 항스트레스 효능을 높이고, 수명을 연장시킴이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 트립톨라이드에 의한 수명연장에 관여하는 세포 내 기전과 트립톨라이드가 노화관련 질환인 당뇨병과 알츠하이머병에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 트립톨라이드는 인슐린/IGF-1-like 신호전달 저하에 의한 수명연장 돌연변이인 age-1과 미토콘드리아 전자 전달계 저하에 의한 수명연장 돌연변이인 clk-1의 수명을 유의적으로 증가시킨 반면, 식이제한 유도 돌연변이인 eat-2의 수명에는 유의적인 변화를 유도하지 못했다. 또한 박테리아 희석을 이용한 식이제한에 의해 연장된 수명을 추가적으로 더 연장시키지 못했다. 트립톨라이드 섭취는 고농도의 당 섭취에 의한 체내 독성과 사람 아밀로이드 베타 형질전환 유전자로 인한 체내 독성을 유의적으로 저하시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 트립톨라이드에 의한 수명연장이 식이제한에 의한 수명연장 기전과 중복되며, 트립톨라이드가 노화관련 질환을 저해하는 효능이 있음을 보여준다. 따라서, 트립톨라이드는 식이제한 효능을 대체할 수 있는 식의약품 개발에 활용될 수 있다.

The immune reinforcement of the probiotic lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum was studied in RAW 264.7 cell line treated with diluted solution (dilution to $2^{5}$) of the supernatnats of lactic acid bacteria. RAW 264.7 cell line was used as a macrophage model to assess the effects of lactic acid bacteria on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ and cell morphological changes. The production of NO and TNF-$\alpha$ were largely affected by lactic acid bacteria in dose-dependent manner in 24 or 48 hr cultures and cell morphological changes were also largely affected by lactic acid bacteria. Especially Bifidobacterium bifidum differentially stimulated the production of NO and TNF-$\alpha$. NO production was increased by Bifidobacterium bifidum 25 $\mu$l/ml more than LPS (20 ng/ml) control, and TW-$\alpha$ by Bifidobacterium bifidum 6.25 $\mu$l/ml more than LPS (10 ng/ml) control. The in vitro approaches employed here should be useful in further characterization of the effects of lactic acid bacteria on systemic immunity.
